    just as there are blind apologists for a program and school every bit as flawed as the rest of us in spite of the constant holier than thou spin.

    Thanks for proving my point.

    So, an employee slips on the ice in the parking lot because the crew hired to clear the lots didn't do a good job. Off with the CEO's head! Haha. Idiots.

    ^^^^Get a fucking clue! Stupid statements like the one you made are proof enough of the idiots that come on these threads. It's never about football, it's constant bashing and over the top comments that are false 99.9% of the time. Who's apologizing for anything? Why is ND flawed? Why can't we root for the team we like? Go take a flying leap you nut job!

    Because it's an organization made up of human beings?

    Why do you think they're not?

    Queen C - you're never going to get any kind of rational response from Kock Rnutne when it comes to the Potato Eaters. In the early days of the OC there was some "poll" done and Kock was named "Top College Football Poster" or some such other bogus title and he really thought his feces had no odor.

    In the time since then, as ND slid further and further into murky mediocrity - Kock's postings have indicated someone who probably should be on suicide watch. The weekly pummeling his beloved Shamrocks take combined with the weekly ass-kicking he himself takes in the CFB Pick-Em thread really has this guy ready to suck on gun-metal.

    If the CEO was lax in making sure his 'crew' was doing their job correctly and someone slipped and died, you're damn right he's/she's likely to get tossed. That's what CEO's are responsible for - pretty much everything.

    Good grief, even The Office had an episode evidencing this (the one with the lewd watermark on the paper), what was the customer's reaction? That Michael Scott should resign because he is the one ultimately responsible.

    If that's your reason then EVERY single CFB program is flawed. Hypocrisy at it's best!

    Correct.

    As I've never implied or stated otherwise, no hypocrisy here.

    Bottom line with this accident, is that it was TRAGIC and just that, an accident. Was someone directly at fault? Not IMO. Will someones head roll because of what happened? Possibly. Its not ND fault. Its not Kelly fault. It was a accident. As tragic as it was, it happens. It was a one in a million thing. May other football teams were doing the same on the same day and luckily, nothing happened. Unfortunately for this young man, something did. But nobody is directly responsible for the death of this young man IMO.

    Specious reasoning. An airline crash is a once in a million thing, but if you send up an aircraft during a huge thunderstorm the odds of something bad happening increase greatly. There was a colossal lack of judgment here.

    Planes fly in poor weather conditions daily. Rarely does anything tragic happen. Its always a poor decision AFTER the fact. Hindsight is 20/20...always.

    lotta deaths around the ND program this year. maybe God is trying to send a message?
  • Manhattan Buckeye
    And planes are grounded daily due to poor weather. It happens to us often. This was a tragic lack of judment. There was indeed fault here, it might not have been intentional fault, but still fault -- and it matters.

    Some good news on the recruiting front, Stephon Tuitt says he is still Irish.
    "It just makes me more determined," Tuitt said. "I'm going to Notre Dame for football, but that's not the only thing I'm going there for. I'm also going for the school and the academics and the history and the tradition. None of that has changed."

    Wow, for once I actually agree with you.

    uh...maybe the mesage is this ...

    "I (as in He, Him, Alpha & Omega...etc, etc) would really prefer not to be associated with this program any longer.
    P.S. please take down that God Awful (pun intended) picture of my Son on the side of that building!"

    I noticed in this little diatribe he never mentions winning. If this is the mentality of new recruits, I can't see ND winning for the next 100 years.

    This would only be comparable if the kid had simply slipped and fell off the tower. That would be a tragic accident that nobody saw coming. The tower was blown over by high winds that were a known risk factor. The lifts operating manual said don't do it, there is a sticker on the machine that says don't do it, but yet he still went up. You put a lift up 50 ft in those winds and it’s going to get knocked over and someone should have known that.
